Genuinely surprised they even dared to release a female character in shorts to a Chinese audience. You would think they know how much they indoctrinated their audience with trashy fan service by now. The stories about enraged lonely guys almost ending an entire franchise over not pandering enough to their fantasies are crazy. You don’t want to mess with those guys. It could put your employees in actual danger.
Gacha games (especially these days) are usually more censored on Chinese servers than on global ones to avoid government interest. That’s why you can have long running titles like Azur Lane being kinda crazy with their skins without getting into trouble while other ones (Snowbreak) crash and burn because their devs felt a little too comfortable skirting the rules.
Not saying whether any of that is good or bad but CN servers do tend to err on the side of caution with their designs.
Because at the same time, if they make a character’s clothing too revealing, they’ll have their wrists slapped by the government censors. I used to play Genshin Impact, and Hoyo got slapped during that time:

Don’t read too much into it. I was merely criticizing the whole ecosystem around it. Because for every “government slapped” story there’s at least one where fans threatened the devs because they didn’t feel pandered to enough. The whole situation is just toxic.
why do you seem to imply this is about chinese audiences specifically
Perhaps you should read the article.
question remains the same. What makes you think audiences elsewhere wouldn’t also be angry at this unnecessary change in their regions specifically. Why do you think chinese audiences are the only ones “indoctrinated by fanservice”
